Local OutiOn.

A petition has been circulated this
week by two of the ladies of our town.
for the purpose of getting the signatures
of ut least one hundred qualified voters.
That number of names and q great
many more have been signed on the
petition and it will now be sent to the
State Legislature. The petition reads
as follows: We, the undersigned, quail.
fed voters of the State of Wisconsin,
irrespective Of party affiliations, do
hereby respectfully petition the Legis-
lature to pass the County Option Bill
now under consideration. We ask this
because we believe that the people have
right to vote directly on a question of
SO profound Importance to them. The
County Option Bill provides that the
County Judge of any county in this
State shall, upon written petition to that
effect Of one hundred qualified voters,
order an election to decide whether the
sale of spurious, malt. or intoxicating
liquors shall be prohibited. Wine for
sacramento purposes and liquors sold
on physicians prescription not included.
1t provides also that within ten days
after filing of petition. the Judge shall
order an election not less or more than
forty days from date of order. At the
election those favoring license will vote
ticket. on which is printed "For
License" those who oppose license,
vote tickets Against License" If the
majority vote for no license, it becomes
the special duty of district attorneys.
mayors, justices. and members of city
boards 70 enforce this act. These are
the main features of the bill. Lancas-
ter sends her petition well armed with
the names OF her most prominent citi-
zens. and though the Local Option Bill
fails to pass the Legislature, there is
satisfaction in knowing that an effort
has at least been made here to do away
with the sale Of intoxicating liquors in
licensed saloons. Any who desire to
add their names to this petition can do
so at DIR. BARRIERS drug store.

What the Commission VIII Do.

Secretary Bayard's commission has
been in consultation for the past week
formulating plans and deciding upon a
course to to be followed when assembled
in joint session with the English represen-
tatives. Some of the results of the con-
ference have been ascertained, and one
point which the commission definitely
agreed upon is that the American Com
missioners will under no circumstances
concur in any settlement of the fishery
controversy which contemplates the ad-
mission of Canadian fish free of duty.
Another conclusion is that the three mile
limit question shall be lett out to board
of arbitration. Still another decision is
that the seal fisheries troubles have moth
ing to do with this case, being entirely
another matter. 1t is very gratifying to
see that the stiff-backed Secretary has
loosened his vertebral column sufficiently
to view these matters in more American
light, but it is very probable that he has
come down from his stool beside the
British throne for reasons which could
be easily traced to politics. The support
OF New England would have some
weight with the action of the Senate when
that body is requested to cooperate with
the commission but Mr. Bayard has care
lessly CD overlooked some vital points
which will cause him some degree of
trouble to satisfactorily explain, and
unexplained will not tend to increase the
favor of that body whose powers he has
usurped. 1t may be that the Secretary
will receive some very valuable intorma-
ton from the Senate when the matter
comes before it.

Virginia Politics.

Politics in Virginia are somewhat pecu-
liar and are growing more so. Some
questions OF State importance, for instance
that of the State debt, are absorbing con
siderable interest and receive much dis.
cussion. Yet over and above these subjects
of local dispute, there is importance given
those of national import. princi pal
among them, that of the tariff. Upon this
subject there is growing difference of
opinion in the democratic party. 1t is a
question of importance at this time since
the next legislature is called upon to elect
United States Senator. Whether he
shall be democratic tree trader like
Daniel. the Senator elect, or Barbour, the
candidate who voted for the Morrison
Carlisle Cleveland bantling in the House,
or he shall be repu blican, in favor OF
honest protection to American industries,
is question which is to be settled at the
polls. The protective tariff sentiment is
making great strides and the free trade
democratic leaders are thoroughly
frightened. To the unpopularity of Cleve-
land, which is extreme, they find added
the unpopular attitude of the democratic
party in Congress toward the tariff,
the internal taxes and the Educa-
tional bill, besides the incompetent
management of the State finances.
There are only two grounds OF hope tor
the free traders. either that there may be
republican disaffection or that they may
succeed by fraud. Concerning the former
the republicans affirm there is no proba-
bility Whatever opposition there may
be to Malone it will be kept within party
lines and will not affect the vote of the
party in the least. The latter means of
securing the Legislature is the only one
that lies open to the democrats and they
evidently propose to use it. They above
all things propose to control the state
government whether or no. Their man.
agement of the finances demands it and the
interests of the party in the T. S. Senate
demand it. 1t is even probable that the

not out of regard for the present
administration, although the protec-
tionists deny that they would so do.
If it lay directly with the people there
would be no liability of any such course.
But should there be fair election and
every vote and no more. be correctly
counted, there is good reason to concluded
that the legislature will be so constituted
as to send republican Senator to Wash.
ington. Since the restraints furnished
by the United States election law will
probably not be felt at this election it is
in the power of the democrats to practice
what frauds they choose, and the success
OF the republicans is rendered the more
doubtful,

The Public and the Stage.

The recent attack by a Nashville, Tenn,
clergyman upon the character of actors
and actresses and the able defense of her
brothers and sisters in profession, by Miss
Emma Abbott, mas called forth variety
of comments in the press and out. There
has been one thing. however, proved be-
yond controversy and that is that the pub
lie is at fault in making conclusions con-
corning the stage. 1t is lett to the per-
sonal choice of each and every individual
to be entertained as he or she will, for
like the stage of life the actors and
actresses behind the foot-lights are as
various in character as are the
people in the pit or balconies,
and each can find his fill. That the public
has been so unfortunate in its choice as to
become acquainted with the lower shad es
of stage life is to be deplored; but the
blame does not rest upon the stage nor
has the public any right
to Judge the stage by what it finds
in the characters of its choice.
There are good actresses and actors and
would be more were not the quality of the
stage subject to the demand of the public.
The Nashville clergyman probably not
personally acquainted with the stage
founded his severe criticism upon what
he observed in contact with theatre goers.
He should have rather soundly berated
the public patrons instead of the stage. for
the stage is what the public makes it.

The respectable portion of the Massa-

the result and the independents threaten

Another severe disappointment has
befallen the democrats. There has been
a strong effort made by the free-trade
journals backed up by the democrats to
force the republicans OF Nebraska to
either introduce n tree-trade plank into
their platform or else to fail to pass upon
the matter in any decided manner. Ac'
cordingly resolution to this effect was
introduced but the convention voted 1t
ont bv Sl9 to 178. The convention then
adopted in its place the following resolu-
ton:
We reaffirm the American system OF the
tariff upder which, with its broad Protection
to American labor, our country has prospered
beyond any other. As the business OF the
country now demands revision, the republl'
can party, alive to the demands of every ma
terial interest, will see to 1T that such
revision is made.
This received almost a unanimous vote
and the republican convention thus placed
itself on par with those which have
preceded II in other states, much to the
chagrin OF the democrats who had tele-
rraphed the first resolution adopted.
